Sophisticated Cissy (DJ Apt One Edit)


This is a private stock edit I have been playing for years. The dudes from SF/LA/NYC crew MOM DJs convinced me to put it on their MOM Remixes Vol. 3, and some of the companion edits I have made will soon follow.  The Motown on Mondays dudes always put it down solid, so check them out at their events around the country.

Cavecast 011 - Sampling


I was really thrilled to participate in last month's edition of CaveCast at the Philadelphia Arts Alliance.  I broke down a bit of the history, philosophy and cultural context of sampling in music and played a buncha tunes.  Give a listen if you ever wondered what Andy Warhol and player pianos have to do with J Dilla and Danny Krivit edits.
